Puppy Chow

When we host parties where Maddie, (our adorable little Shorkie), is the focus of the occasion, I fill 'take-out' boxes, adorned with a bone with the guest’s name written on it, and filled with this sweet and crunchy treat. It looks great on the table, serves double duty as party favor and place card and did I mention, it tastes great!
